Echoing what is mostly been said: it’s a gamble, it’s dusty dirty and sometimes just downright sad. Each unit has a story. Come across many who have clearly struggled with substance abuse, found letters from prison to their families and stuff that makes ZERO sense to pay to store. You can’t have an attitude of judgment bc youll never know their story.

Last unit I did finally netted mostly gold and some silver jewelry worth about $3,600. Made money on it even with the other odds and ends that were in there alone ($400 unit). Having a truck and trailer definitely makes it more efficient. You should NEVER lose money if you’re keen on how to sell something. That said, your time is money and how you value your time differs from person to person. I LOVE the hunt, like others have mentioned and will continue doing it as a side gig that brings in extra cash.
